About the Yearbook 

cyclope-cover-2016

The Cyclope Report plunges the reader into the arcana of all of the commodities markets, from apples to zirconium, including textiles, soya, automobiles and even art.

Edition after edition, it has become the essential reference work for this particularly volatile universe. It likewise offers precious background analyses of the weight and responsibility of China, for example, or of the WTO’s Doha Round negotiations, or the development of the recycling markets, etc.

Cyclope also offers the reader an overview of the tensions and conflicts of globalisation and the international economy.

The Cyclope Report is produced by an international team of economists, journalists and professionals under the direction of Philippe Chalmin and benefits from the support of more than thirty French companies.
